hi

i want to build a gantt chart in form to show project progress status,
in the table 'project status', i have project name, project manager, start
dates and end dates,

anyone knows how i can show this as a gantt chart view?

thanks.
 
thanks that helps,

it is too complicated to understand and make one from scratch,
is there a simple and basic way of creating it?

thanks.
 
Haroon,

Sorry, there is no Wizard that can build an application using a flex
grid control. If you do not have the Visual Basic knowledge to write
the code yourself I can only suggest paying a developer to do it for
you. There are many companies around that could do that, such as
http://www.rptsoftware.com/ for example, but I have no idea how much
they would charge for such a project.

Perhaps now would be a good time to learn VBA, there are a few good
tutorials on the Internet and many books as well.

Good luck with your project.

hi hibbs,

how can i extent the flex grid to show more months or full month? also can i
add zoom buttons on it to zoom out to see whole year view?

thanks.
 
You could certainly write code to change the flex grid display to show
months and/or years, it would obviously depend on what exactly you
want to show and whether it could fit on the screen.

I have another flex grid demo which shows all the months of the year
as a calendar with each day colour coded for various categories, etc.
It also shows the months, weeks and days in a similar way to the demo
at the Web site I mentioned. If you would like a copy of that just
email me at the email address in the documentation and I will send you
a copy. I should mention though, that the code is quite complicated
and not really a project for a beginner.

Peter I have a similar dilemma. I am quite familiar with VB but I cannot get your Flexgrid Demo to work on my PC ( I downloaded it from Roger's site). I have the references correctly set to FLXGRD.OCX. I also successfully registered it prior to setting references in ms access code window. What I want to use it for is similar to a gantt view, except I want to show progress for multiple items on a single line based on dates. I want the dates on the top running across, with at least a month visible. Once I can get the visual piece figured out, I will be working on task dependencies etc, using an elaborate set of Primary keys for the Tasks/Resource tables and using a loop. Kindly help any way you can..
